NASA Administrator: Please Welcome Deputy Administrator Dava Newman

Please join me in welcoming Deputy Administrator Dava Newman to NASA! Dr. Newman took her Oath of Office on Friday, and today is her first full day on the job.

On a personal note, I have known and admired Dava for several decades. Her talents and skills as an educator and technological innovator will bring a new energy to our NASA leadership team, and I’m ecstatic to have her on board.

This is an exciting time for NASA as we continue to make extraordinary strides on our Journey to Mars, extend humanity’s reach into our solar system and the universe and strengthen America’s leadership here on Earth.

I know that Dr. Newman is looking forward to working with you as we continue to reach new heights. Again, please join me in welcoming her to the NASA Family.
